Mary Jean was born in Coushatta, LA on April 11, 1938, and passed away on July 3, 2023. She was a 1955 graduate of Bossier High School. Shortly after graduating, she met and married the love of her life, James Willis Parker, on July 6, 1956. Together, they shared a beautiful life.
Mary Jean worked as a school bus driver for more than twenty years. She was a faithful member of The Pentecostals of Bossier and was dedicated to her church and family. Mary Jean was always the one who led, built up, and nurtured everyone she touched. She was an excellent cook and had a passion for her family. She leaves an empty place in all our hearts that can not be filled by anyone else.
Mary Jean is preceded in death by her loving husband, James Willis Parker; parents, Grover Cleveland Harvill and Emma B. Harvill; and her sister, Lela Joyce Carrell. Left to cherish her memory are her children, Dennis Lane Parker, David Earl Parker, and Sylvia Jean Parker; grandchildren, Allison Glenn Bragg and husband Gary Bragg, III, and Jacob Thomas Glenn; great-grandchildren, Jordyn Bailey Glenn and Savannah Grace Bragg; and brother, Harold Dean Harvill.
Pallbearers are Thomas Glenn, Jacob Glenn, Jordyn Glenn, Roy Darnell, and Daniel Darnell. Honorary pallbearer is Gary Bragg, III.
